Cheers Mate Just been colouring bits in, and the wheels in polished aluminium look great, my daughter came out while I was doing and said "cor your wheels look good" trouble is the photo doesn't do anything for it, you'll just have to take my word for it Next up the bit I've not been looking forward to, the shocks

You can see the polished aluminium in the centre piece of this sprocket nice and clear, the wheels are the same

Pics do have a lot to answer for when it comes to killing the effect of a great paint job Robbo......i used to use Aclad Chrome and was ok at getting it to look nice `n` shiny to the naked eye...........the pics made it look totally different , decent lighting is a big help if you can afford it..........we know what the colour should look like...and we all know dam well it does so top job mucker

Thanks mate
The only thing I’ll be chroming will be the exhaust and I’ve got a gloss black on ready to go

Polish the black to a really glossy finish fella and then very slowly apply the Chrome.......to quick and heavy it will more often or not suddenly go Alu looking........there`s a very fine line between to little and too much,slow and steady wins the race

Thanks for following guys
I just went in Hobbycraft for a look round what a great place to have on your door step. I picked up a Tamiya chrome as I thought it would come in handy for picking up bits on this build
